FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need to be fit?
In short, it is beneficial but not essential. However, a basic level of climbing fitness and some previous experience riding hills does help! Due to the nature of the rolling hills (and mountains) here there is always going to be a high level of climbing.
Your standard bookings are from Sat to Sat. Is it possible to start the holiday on another day?
Yes, no problem.
What about short breaks and long weekends, are these possible?
Again no problem, just email us with your dates and we will check availability for you.
The price includes an unlimited free bar. What does this mean?
We offer locally produced lager along with red, white and rose house wines. A selection of fruit juices are also included. At an extra cost you can enjoy branded lagers, wines, spirits and soft drinks such as coca cola, fanta, 7up etc. Our bar is unlimited, meaning we will constantly keep it (and all other provisions) topped up over the course of your stay - so never fear, you'll never run out of beer!
What hire bikes do you have available?
We have a small range of road bikes available for hire. Our fleet is constantly changing, so please email us if you are looking to hire.
I don't fancy riding every day or I am coming with a non-riding partner, what other activities are available outside of the accommodation?
We can offer day trips to places such as Seville, Granada (The Alhambra) and Cordoba (The Mezquita), as well as local towns such as Cabra and Zuheros. Other activities available include walking, climbing, horse riding, skiing, and golf. We can even arrange a tour of the local bodega (wine distillery). All trips and activities are dependent on the time of year and available transport, please contact us for more details (extra costs may apply).
